Kim Myhr

In recent years, Kim Myhr has been one of the leading voices on the experimental scene in Norway as both a composer and a guitarist. In March 2014, he released the critically acclaimed solo record «All your limbs singing; an orchestral exploration of the 12-string guitar sounding like something in between American folk strumming and 60s avant-garde soundness orchestral music. The WIRE called it «a delirious love letter to the 12-string guitar». In 2016 he released BLOOM, taking the music in a new, and more electronic direction. MOJO gave it four stars and called it "a trance state between the acoustic and the electronic, where an alchemical late-hours lyricism is born».

Myhr is an active composer, and writes for chamber ensembles, electroacoustic settings and various theatrical projects. Earlier in 2016 he released «In The End His Voice Will Be The Sound of Paper» - a collaborative album with Jenny Hval and Trondheim Jazz Orchestra. He is also a member of MURAL (with Ingar Zach and Jim Denley) and Circadia (alongside David Stackenäs, Joe Williamson and Tony Buck). Kim has done collaborations with Sidsel Endresen, Lasse Marhaug, Sofia Jernberg, Sebastien Roux and Kjell Bjørgeengen to mention just a few.
